So that helps to have one thing on each side . When balancing academics with tennis , I do try to make sure that when I have free time , especially early in the quarter , I am getting my work done as soon as possible so that I have as much time . For tennis , and I don't have to stress out on the court about academics .

For tennis , and I don't have to stress out on the court about academics . But then also so that I have time after tennis to kind of just relax and chill , because at the end of the day , that is what I want to do .
And also being right on the lake , I know it's cold a lot of the year , but for those months that it's not quite as cold , it's so nice to have the lake right here . I think from playing at the college level , I've become a much better tennis player because everyone at this level is very talented and works extremely hard to get to where they are today . So there's no match that is not extremely challenging .

So in practice , it's also really important to focus on that . I think a lot of the challenges that I faced throughout my tennis career are injuries in high school . I think my first major injury was my Achilles , and that took about 8 months to recover from .
